Columbus, MS. Slowly working our way down the Tenn-Tom.

We have been at the Columbus Marina the last few days, taking a break from constant running.  We have toured Columbus and Aberdeen, MS via a rental car, and the surrounding area.  Many old homes and that type of thing.  At least Alexis is enjoying it!  We did tour the birth home of Tennessee Williams in Columbus, which was interesting.  Also, we toured the Waverly Plantation Mansion, an interesting antebellum home.   There are about a dozen Loopers here with us, so that has been nice.   Todd and Debbie on Seaveyor arrive today, and we will go out to dinner with them tonight.  Tomorrow we head south.  Demopolis is the only city left before Mobile, so we will be anchoring out most of the five more days to Mobile.  We will spend some time in Mobile, and then start the trek to New Orleans.  The Tenn-Tom is mostly rural, and the anchorages have been secluded.  Great bird watching and star gazing opportunities.  The marinas along the way are nice, but remote.  Nothing like the east coast or Lake Michigan, where there were always towns next to the marinas with lots to do.  So very different, but relaxing, except when Alexis was watching LSU lose last night…..

Loopers headed down the Tenn-Tom.

The scenery is beginning to look like home.
